Skiathos_old port_night, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

With its own airport and more than 60 fine beaches, Skiathos is the most popular of the Sporades Island group and each year attracts thousands of tourists to its busy coastline. The island is only four miles (6km) wide and seven miles (11km) long. Away from the resort areas along the south and east coast it is relatively undeveloped with shady woods, olive and walnut groves and quiet beaches that can only be accessed by boat.
* here my theme Skiathos Island
The seafront in Skiathos Town is lined with local tavernas, cafés and some excellent seafood restaurants that look over the lively marina. From here boat trips leave to take tourists around the island to swim in the sparkling blue-green waters and see the sights, which include a ruined Venetian fortress dating from 1207, and the deserted 14th-century town of Kastro. The most famous beach on the island, and perhaps Greece, is Koukounaries, a one-mile (2km) long strip of fine golden sand and crystal clear water set in front of a thick pine forest. It attracts many visitors especially during July and August and offers all sorts of watersports facilities.

Γεια σου Γεώργιε,
Όμορφη η νυχτερινή άποψη του λιμανιού στη Σκιάθο με υπέροχο ουρανό. Ίσως τα φώτα των μαγαζιών είναι λίγο υπερφωτισμένα.
Σε χαιρετώ, Βασίλης.

Hello Georgio

Wonderful symmetrical reflections, with good sharpness, colour & saturation. I like the amber vs blue color contrast. Well done!

Congratulations on your 500th upload, Georgios. An atmospheric and skilled wide-angle evening scene from the quiet port, in which the reflections amplify the pleasant and relaxing mood. Good comprehensive framing, and well exposed. Nicely done.

Hello Georgio,

A picture during the blue hour, with a fantastic result.
I like the enlightenment of the buildings and reflections in water.
Soft colour for these fine picture.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Warmest regards,

Bonjour Georgios,
un gran moment de calme et repos dans une ambiance portuaire, un port que les lumières rend festif. Un rien de surexpostiion au niveau des 'lights', maid dans l'ensemble, des lumières qui font bien ressortir les teintes de ce moment.
Regards.
Daniel.

Γεια σου Γεώργιε! Πεντακοσάρισες βλέπω! Συγχαρητήρια και εύχομαι εξίσου καλή συνέχεια!

Πολύ όμορφη νυχτερινή, ωραίο "timing" για την μπλε ώρα, ωραίο κάδρο και σύνθεση, πολύ καλός φωτισμός! Τελικά, πρέπει να τα είχες πιει τα ουζάκια σου στη Σκιάθο, πάλι γέρνει προς τα δεξιά ο ορίζοντας ;-)))

Hi Georgios,
There is a very good light management here. The harbour is seen perfectly with a special night charm. Excellent composition and framing, great depth of field and perfect timing for the "blue" hour. Congratulations!
Best regards,
